Abstract:
〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Aim: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 To analyze the epidemiological features of colorectal diverticulum (CRD) in China. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 We retrospectively analyzed CRD patients in 8 tertiary hospitals located in 5 regions of China from 2000 to 2016. The detection rates, number and distribution, demographic information, concomitant disorders, and their associations were investigated. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Of 3,446,118 cases, 7,964 (2.3%) were CRD with a mean age of 56 years (11–92 years). The detection rate increased yearly and with increasing age. Males had a higher detection rate than females (3.0 vs. 1.47%, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c; 0.01) and 1.8-times higher increase rate. The detection rate increased with age; however, females of & #x3e; 60 years had a 2.8-times increasing rate than males. CRD occurred most frequently in the right-side colon, followed by rectum. Multiple diverticula were common in males and increased with age, with a 3-times higher increase rate than single lesion. Single-segment CRD occurred more frequently in males than in females (80.1 vs. 76.4%, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c; 0.01). Concurred colon polyps were seen in 51.05% cases. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 CRD detection rates increased annually and with age, particularly in senior females in China. Multiple diverticula were common in males and increased with age. CRD was predominant in the right-side colon. Polyps are the most common comorbidity associated with CRD.
